As interest in government contracting grows, private companies such as US Federal Contractor Registration are helping businesses grow through working with the Federal government.

Following the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, there has been a surge of interest in government contracting among business owners.  While money has been set aside to fund upcoming contracts, working with the government is not quite as simple as calling yourself a vendor.  The Federal Government requires would-be contractors to complete an application with the Central Contractor Registration and Online Representations and Certifications Application, known as CCR and ORCA respectively, in order to be awarded contracts or be paid for work performed.  Like many other government forms, CCR and ORCA filing can turn out to be very time consuming and too difficult for the average person to complete on their own.  Additionally, incorrect or omitted data can be costly to correct and may even result in penalties down the road.

Just as many business owners hire an accountant to complete their taxes for them and avoid costly errors, many new vendors are turning to services such as US Federal Contractor Registration to help them enter the Federal market.  By working with a qualified and knowledgeable case manager, business owners can be assured that their CCR and ORCA registration are completed as accurately and quickly as possible.  Case managers maintain registration for a full year, applying necessary changes or updates as needed.

Working with a qualified service also helps vendors take the next step after registration when seeking government contracts.  For instance, US Federal Contractor Registration’s Targeted Marketing program helps businesses develop promotional materials such as a custom capabilities statement and SBA Dynamic Small Business Profile, set up recurring searches on FedBizOpps.gov, and use services such as FPDS.gov to identify those departments and agencies in their service area most likely to purchase their products or services.

Entering the Federal market for the first time can be daunting and the learning curve can seem steep.  Adding the expertise and skill of an established service like US Federal Contractor Registration can make the difference between success and failure for new vendors.

US Federal Contractor Registration makes sense of government contracting by linking all systems into one convenient service.  Their registration and marketing programs help both large and small businesses take advantage of new opportunities and find success working with the Federal Government.
